This invention relates to improvements in baling presses, and moreespecially to novel 7 means for driving the condenser plunger of suchpresses. V

Heretofore, such plungers have been so combined with thedrivingmechanism of the main plunger of the press that the condenserplunger is drivenirregularly and with a jerky motion which causesknocking, and the main object of the present invention is to providedriving mechanism; which will cause the condenser plunger tocontinuously travel in a steady manner and without the usual noise.

With the foregoing object outlined and 1 with other objects in viewwhich'will' appear as the description proceeds, the invention consistsin the novel features hereinafter described in detail, illustrated inthe accompanying drawings, and more particularly 2 pointed out in theappended claims.

In the drawings, V Fig. 1 is a side elevation of: a baling pressequipped with my improvements.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view of the same.

Fig. 3 is a top plan View. I Fig. 4 is a viewsimilar to Fig. 1, butshowing only a portion of the mechanism, and with the condenser plungerconnecting rod and O lever in a diiferent position.

Referring to the drawings, 5 designates the hopper and 6 the balingchamberof a press to which I have applied my improvements. Such balingpresses have a goose neck 7 which is pivotally mounted-at Sand has a leg9 which acts to force the material to. be baled from the condenser intothe baling chamber.

10 indicates the, conventional main plunger of the press, whichisprovidedwith guideways'll that operate pins or rollers 12 at one end ofthe goose neck. When the main plunger moves forwardly, the guides 11 actto raise.

the leg 9 out of the condenser. V

The condenser plunger is shown at 1 3,.and in accordance with myinvention, long'llinks 1d havetheir forward ends secured tothe plunger13,,and their other ends provided with pins 15 which slide in slots 16ofjlevers L71 that r'are pivotall y mounted at IB'Qon" frame of themachine. p r

It will be understood from the foregoing that my mechanism causes thecondenser plunger to run regularly Without knock, and

that the plunger 13 puts the material under 7 the goose neck earlierthan the mechanisms heretofore known.

From the for-egoingit-is believed that the construction, operation andadvantages of the invention may be readily understood, and" I am awarethat changes may be made in the details disclosed, Without departingfrom the spirit of the invention, asexpressed in the claims.
